We usually use the paper cutter knife and a steel ruler to lightly cut the plate and then bend the plate at the edge of a table to break the edge.

My advice for lines issue is always CHECK YOUR USB CABLE. ;-)

We used to clean with Blanket wash 1st then with the paint thinner or benzene. Works well. Scotchbrite for heavy build up.

And when you stop the press for feeding paper or blanket wash, suddenly all the ink comes back onto paper as somebody accidentally poured ink directly on rollers.

They are still looking for a pressman to operate it.

Ah sad news for us, how will we wrap the fresh bread and other bakery items now?

It's definitely a Focus or Zooming issue,Ask your service guy to adjust the focus and zooming. Also let us know which CTP it is. Measure your plate thickness as well with a micrometer and see if its the same thickness as on the plate label. I hope this helps.

Does same apply for the PS files too? We sell a CTP brand and also provide a RIP free for one year, so we have to train new customers and as we are told to tell the customer that the best format to use is PDF, the problem starts where some customers still using old freehand files or corel draw...

I'm sure this wasn't for Erik. :D

and every print job is urgent when it's on press, though sometimes it stays in the postpress for weeks. No time for preventive maintenance.

but I only use water proof and fire proof paper.

I agree with you Turbotom.

Ignored. :confused:

Another old school eco friendly solution, if this is happening during makeready, just apply a small amount of coconut oil or cooking oil to the inked up rollers and carry on with makeready.:D I remember one of our senior pressman used to mix general purpose grease in ink to eliminate hickeys. :mad:

If I understand correctly you saw single color GTO's for around 6K mark. If that's the case then no, you cant link those GTO's. If you buy a single color GTO, you will have to run a four color Job 4 times (one color at a time). In GTO there are two different size models, GTO 46 and GTO 52. I...
